The Biosphère presents three new exhibitions, including +1°C
MONTRÉAL, Que. — June 2, 2011 — The Biosphère environment museum invites the public to discover three new exhibitions: +1°C: What Difference Does It Make?, Finding Balance, and Woodland Escapes.
+1°C: What Difference Does It Make?
This new permanent exhibit provides some answers to common questions about one of the great planetary issues of the 21st century: climate change. What is the impact of a temperature increase of 1°C? What will the climate be like in 100 years? Via life-sized videos, scientists answer these and other questions to demystify often-complex concepts and allow for greater comprehension of this phenomenon.
The “Magic Planet,” a 1.2-m-diameter globe of the Earth and the only one of its kind in Quebec, is just one of the exhibition’s attractions. Using satellite imaging, this interactive globe displays natural, meteorological and climatic phenomena.
